Venues

Not all of us are lucky enough to have a garden in which we can host a marquee wedding or event. Fortunately there are a selection of venues that have the space and the stunning grounds to allow you to do just that. Below are some of the venues where we have worked in the past and where Cascade Events is a preferred supplier.

Yarnton Manor is a 17th Century Manor House, built in 1611 by the wealthy Spencer family. Now Grade II* listed in recognition of its special historic interest, much of what survives is original, or restored sympathetically at the close of the 19th Century.

Providing our canopy marquees for wedding ceremonies, we have worked closely with Ardington House for many years and have a great relationship. A beautiful Georgian manor in gardens and parkland, used for weddings, corporate events, parties and filming.

For quite a few years we have provided our large frame marquees for the London Winter Run in Trafalgar Square and London Landmarks Half Marathon in Waterloo Place. Marquees are used for Bag Drops and Event Sponsors over a weekend for these mass participation events.

Queen Anne’s School is an independent boarding and day school for girls situated in the suburb of Caversham just north of the River Thames and occupying a 35-acre campus. We provide marquees annually for the school’s Speech Days and other events.

Pangbourne College is a boarding school located in the civil parish of Pangbourne, Berkshire. Set in 230 acres, on a hill south-west of the village, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Exeter College is located at the heart of Oxford, adjoining the Bodleian Library. The College, the fourth oldest at the University, has occupied its current site on Turl Street since 1315, one year after it was founded. Today Exeter is home to a diverse community of fellows and students from across the world. Cascade Events regularly provide marquees for weddings in the Fellows Garden and Degree Days in the Margery Quad.

Clare College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. The college was founded in 1326 as University Hall, making it the second-oldest surviving college of the University after Peterhouse. It was refounded in 1338 as Clare Hall by an endowment from Elizabeth de Clare. Clare is famous for its chapel choir and for its gardens on “The Backs” (the back of the colleges that overlook the River Cam). Every year we provide Clare College with a long term summer marquee for the Oxford Royale students.

Lady Margaret Hall is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England, located on the banks of the River Cherwell at Norham Gardens in north Oxford and adjacent to the University Parks. Every year we provide a long term summer marquee for the Oxford Royale students.

Balliol College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England. One of Oxford’s oldest colleges, it was founded around 1263 by John I de Balliol, a rich landowner from Barnard Castle in County Durham, who provided the foundation and endowment for the college. Cascade Events provide their long term summer marquee for the Oxford Royale students every year.

St Catherine’s College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England. Its motto is Nova et Vetera, which translates as: “Things both new and old”.

St Peter’s College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford and is located in New Inn Hall Street, Oxford, United Kingdom. It occupies the site of two of the university’s medieval halls, dating back to at least the 14th century. We provide marquees in the summer for the Oxford Royale students every year at St Peter’s College.

Although Worcester College is near the centre of Oxford today, it was on the edge of the city in the eighteenth century. This has proved a benefit in the long run, since it has allowed the college to retain very extensive gardens and, uniquely among Oxford colleges, contiguous playing fields (a total of 26 acres (110,000 m2), including a lake). We provide Worcester College with marquees in the summer for their annual Garden Parties for students of the college.

Cascade Events provide marquees and furniture for University of Southampton’s Summer and Winter Graduation, Open Days and Freshers Events. We have been working together for many years and are pleased to provide our marquees for some of their biggest events in the calendar.
